Nut-Free Granola with Quinoa, Seeds and Goji

I’m a huge fan on homemade granola – it is so easy to make and well worth the effort.  This is a nut-free granola with quinoa, seeds and goji berries and it is delicious.  So good that I have eaten it for breakfast and dessert for the past week!  

The quinoa adds l lovely nutty taste and ensures it stays super crunchy once it has been added to your yoghurt or milk – I cannot stand soggy cereal.  Serve topped with fresh seasonal fruit.  Enjoy xx

To make, add the dry ingredients to a large bowl, add your coconut oil and maple, that you have warmed slightly, and mix to combine well.

Spread out on a tray and bake for 25 minutes or until golden.  Add your chia seeds and goji berries and you are done.

It is a very adaptable recipe so skip the oats entirely and sub nuts to make it a grain-free granola.  Add spices such as cinnamon, all spice, and vanilla and whatever dried fruit you like.

Store in an airtight container for a couple of months, but its unlikely it will last that long…
